The rubber boots were still soft and pliable. Not much play at all in the front end.

Thanks! I can't knock these things out like you can, but I actually have a blast giving it what I can. The fun is in the journey more than the destination.

I learned the hard way about what to start out with. I lucked out with this car. I bought it on fleabay, nothing other than pictures and a phone call with the owners son. Fortunately, he was as honest as he came across and the car was just as described.
I hate paint jail with a passion. I'm teaching myself how to paint too. Based on some of the characters I've come across, you don't exactly need a chemistry degree to paint - just a lot of patience and the nads to try.
